Don’t be fooled by the innocent face- Windy was caught red handed with a face full of raw egg in a nest box today. Just when I thought I’d gotten the egg-eaters under control…back I go to the drawing board! Egg eating aside, the other two significant events in the backyard lately are broody hens and many molting chickens. ‘Tis the season!

Freida (Silkie hen) with her Serama chick. I'm still working on a name for him, but his comb and wattles gave him away as a cockerel this week.

Bantam Cochin Frizzle hen with Serama cockerel

Rachel (Bantam Cochin Frizzle) started the week on her best behavior, but has been in the broody breaker for the past 2 or 3 days. She should be back on track by Monday. Caesar (Serama cockerel) hanging out in the shade with Rachel.

Dorking pair

My Dorking pair from P. Allen Smith‘s heritage breeding pens. It’s remarkable how much more solid and spectacularly feathered all of the heritage breeds are than any other chickens I’ve raised.

My hens love these and I have actually trained them to eat out of my hand

Great article! I always feed these worms in the winter to supplement my girl's diet, add variety and make up for not being able to forage when the snow is flying and its below zero.

I have one hen that is very offended if you don't greet her treats in hand every morning. From the Peafowl to the chickens meal worms are a communal favorite at my house.
